MIL

No, it's ok to vent. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it either because I don't know anyone going through the same thing. You need to ask your husband if that's really how he feels. Like his mother will always be his number one. And then ask him what he would do if someday you weren't there anymore. He's not respecting you, and you don't deserve that. Maybe you should suggest not going away for a weekend until he can get his act together. He needs to see, whether he admits it or not, that his mother is in the wrong. It's like she had complete mental control over him. I knew a man that used to write in a journal everything he didn't like about his wife (just like your MIL does to your son about gifts). That's a sure sign of instability.

I read your post and my DF mom is nothing but a money-hungry, bipolar, pill popper and if I could get away with murder believe me she would be first on my list!!! but it seems like no matter what she does to DF he always tries to smooth things over with him... she left him when he was 2, came back into his life around age 10 put him back and forth between grandparents and her, and some how since we lived with her for a month we encountered over $2,000 worth of unpaid bills she is threatening to take us to court for..... seems like anytime we are having a good time she does something to try to bring us down, and I am fed up with her. I just wish DF would realize what she is doing and just be done with her!
